Products used:
No7 Base Coat

No7 Cheeky Chops

L'oreal Confetti top coat
Wedge sponges (primark £1!)


First apply your base coat to protect your nails, I like the No7 one but whichever is your favourite! Then add an opaque coat of your black polish, and leave to dry. Next, using your wedge sponge, apply the polish onto the sponge and dab on some of your dark blue colour (I prefer metallic effect, I think it goes well with the theme) Then, using a grey, dab that over the top too. If the grey looks too much, go back over lightly with the dark blue again. Next use a hint of pink , you should be able to see it all come together now! Now to add some stars, place (not brush) some of the glitter in different areas of your nail, as you don't want it becoming too saturated with glitter. Then use your confetti top coat for some big stars and finish with your fast drying top coat to seal and smooth everything! VoilĂ  you are done. 

Thanks for reading, I hope you decide to give this a go, it's not too complex and mistakes can be hidden, but you do use a lot of polish!

This is my usual go to look in the mornings before work. It takes me about 10 minutes! Sometimes if I'm feeling like I have enough time (just in-case it goes terribly wrong) I do some liner. I use the bronzer as a primer (it's got a primer-like consistency) to add a bit of colour and make me look a little bit more alive! This is my favourite palette too, I use it almost everyday because there's such a variation of shades I can change looks up with just this! The shades are really pigmented for the price. Most of the brushes I use are real techniques but I use some e.l.f and MAC ones. (post coming soon!)
